Formula 1 is currently on its summer break, with the action on track set to resume for the Dutch Grand Prix at the end of the month. A thrilling season gathered pace before the break, with Max Verstappen’s winning run halted, and five different drivers claiming victory across the last six races. But, how has that impacted the outright championship odds?
F1 Outright Drivers’ Championship Odds & Pick
| Driver | Odds |
|---|---|
| Max Verstappen | -450 |
| Lando Norris | +300 |
| Oscar Piastri | +10000 |
| Charles Leclerc | +25000 |
| Lewis Hamilton | +25000 |
| Carlos Sainz | +50000 |
An exciting final month of action before the summer break saw Max Verstappen go four races without a win. However, the Dutchman’s advantage at the top of the Drivers’ Championship remains extremely healthy with ten rounds remaining. Verstappen sits 78 points clear at the summit, with Lando Norris appearing to be his closest rivals.
McLaren’s inability to prioritize Norris is a key factor behind the Brit being further back, as team orders saw him reverse positions with Oscar Piastri on the closing laps at the Hungarian Grand Prix. Charles LeClerc is next in the rankings, but he looks unlikely to close the 100-point gap to Verstappen.
Therefore, we expect Verstappen to successfully retain his title once again, but the advantage this season is likely to be much closer than it has been in the last two campaigns.

| Constructor | Odds |
|---|---|
| McLaren | -175 |
| Red Bull | +125 |
| Ferrari | +3300 |
| Mercedes | +3300 |
The battle for the Constructors’ Championship promises to be the big story to follow in the second half of the season, as McLaren’s ability to constantly score big points with both cars on track is putting Red Bull under intense pressure. Norris and Piastri have both finished in the top five positions in each of the last three races, while Red Bull’s fight is being hindered by the form of Sergio Perez.
The Mexican was given assurances surrounding his future during the summer break, but there was slight surprise that the team weren’t both ruthless. McLaren’s form on track make them the best betting angle to win the Constructors’ Championship this season, and they could quickly made up the 42-point deficit between the teams.
